No one can resist a good story, especially those told by a grandmother. In Grandma’s Bag of Stories, Sudha Murty reminds readers of a simple time, where a fun afternoon usually involved sitting by one’s grandma to hear her stories. When Grandma opens her bag of stories, everyone gathers Around.
Grandma tells the stories over long summer days and nights, as seven children enjoy life in her little town. The stories entertain, educate and provide hours of enjoyment to them. So come, why don’t you too join in the fun?
Memories of a grandparent spinning tales around animals and mysterious characters have kept many of us rapt till date. Sudha Murty's Grandma’s Bag of Stories is simply delightful. The story starts with Anand, Krishna, Raghu and Meena arriving at their grandparents’ house in Shiggaon. Overjoyed Ajji and Ajja(Grandmother and grandfather in Kannada) get the house ready, while Ajji prepares delicious snacks for children. Finally, times comes when everyone gathers around Ajji, as she opens her big bag of stories. She tells stories of kings and cheats, princesses and onions, monkeys and mice and scorpions and hidden treasures.
There is no greater story teller than a grandmother. Her stories are full of life and wisdom, and her tales teach kids about proud kinds, mischievous monkeys, cheating thieves, bears and gods. In stories such as that of a bear who partook of some really bad dessert, a lazy man who would not put out a fire until it scorched his beard and a queen who discovered silk. Hilarious, wise and instructive, these stories teach kids about the value of elders and the wisdom that the older generation can pass down.
Though unlikely in combination, stories makes perfect sense when Grandma is the one narrating them. This book is ideal for young children and those who are 5+ in age. Stories are accompanied by colourful illustrations and morals. Lucid and simple language of the book, makes reading a pleasure.
